How to beat Vince

• Pressure him early, before he stacks moths. His Super is much weaker below 10.
• Wait near his caterpillars. Everyone can see them, so you know where he has to go.
• Defeat him to cut his collection in half, and dodge the Super: the mark is what makes his shots hurt.

Common mistake: Taking fights before collecting moths, then dying and losing half the collection.

Best Vince Build

Star Powers

Come to Papa

Bug BandageRecommended

Every caterpillar you turn into a moth heals you for 1200. Collecting is your main job, so it doubles as constant healing.

Gadgets

Hot Coffee

MetamothosisRecommended

Turns every nearby caterpillar into moths and gives two for each one. It can push your Super to the next stage in one press, and heals a lot with Bug Bandage.

Recommended Gears

Shield

Speed

Adapt per mode

Game plan

Vince is a Mythic damage dealer with long range and a fast reload. His coffee shots deal solid single-target damage, and caterpillars keep spawning near him: hit them or walk over them to collect moths. Moths power up his Super, which marks enemies so his shots deal bonus damage, and at 5, 10 and 20 moths it fires more projectiles that also reload his ammo, bounce and slow. He loses half his moths when defeated.

1. Collect caterpillars early and stay alive. Your Super gets much stronger at 5, 10 and 20 moths, and dying costs you half of them.
2. Land the Super first, then follow up with coffee shots: marked enemies take bonus damage from your main attack for every moth you hold.
3. Save ammo. The same shots collect caterpillars and fight, so line up shots that collect several at once.

Drafting Vince

When to pick

Pick Vince where he gets time to collect: open maps, slower matches and teams that can protect him early.

Who to pair with

Pair him with tanks or controllers that hold the front while he builds moths, and with damage dealers who punish the enemies his Super marks.

Ban or not

A strong ban while he sits at the top of the tier list. If he gets through, rush him early, before he reaches 10 moths.
